A level of competency, recency or familiarity that is not accurate to what’s needed or communicated.

As much as many job posts can be wish lists (no hire is perfect, every hire can be a compromise of how much of each skill a candidate has), understanding what you bring, what is needed, and where you can grow relative to the position and the work ahead can mean a lot.

In some cases, a perfect candidate might mean limited time there or maybe three candidate gets bored.
